## Pricing

from $0.70 / 1,000 profiles

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

**Snapchat Profile Scraper** turns a list of **public Snapchat profiles** into one row each: **display name, subscribers, bio, website, verified badge, category, when the profile was created and last updated, related accounts, and Spotlight performance — how many Spotlight videos, total, average and best views, and the latest upload**. Switch on one option to get every **Spotlight video** as a row with views, date, duration and video link.

**$0.001 per profile** — $1 per 1,000. +$0.0003 per Spotlight video. No Snapchat account, no login, no start fee.

### What is Snapchat Profile Scraper?

Snapchat creators are harder to vet than on TikTok or Instagram — the app shows little on the web. This Actor reads the public profile page any visitor sees and gives you the numbers in one row. Use it for influencer discovery and vetting, creator databases, brand research and lead lists.

### What is in every row

| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `username`, `displayName`, `url`, `verified`, `category` | The profile |
| `subscribers` | Subscriber count (when the creator shows it) |
| `bio`, `websiteUrl`, `address`, `otherProfiles` | Contacts |
| `createdAt`, `lastUpdatedAt`, `hasStory` | Activity |
| `spotlightsShown`, `spotlightViewsAverage`, `spotlightViewsMax`, `latestSpotlightAt` | Spotlight performance |
| `relatedAccounts` | Similar creators Snapchat suggests — great for discovery |
| Spotlight rows: `views`, `uploadedAt`, `durationSeconds`, `videoUrl` | With **Add Spotlight videos** on |

### How much does it cost?

| Event | Price |
|---|---|
| Profile | **$0.001** |
| Spotlight video (optional) | **$0.0003** |

- Profiles below **Minimum subscribers**: **$0**.
- Private or missing profiles: **$0** (an error row says why).

#### Bulk export: what 50,000 rows actually cost

This Actor is built for bulk jobs — thousands of inputs in one run, or a daily schedule. There is **no
fee per run, no fee per page and no proxy charge**: you pay for the rows you keep.

| Job | This Actor | Most-used Actor in this category |
|---|---|---|
| 10,000 profiles | **$10** | $20 + start fees |
| 50,000 profiles | **$50** | $100 + start fees |

Checked on the Apify Store on 23 September 2026 against the Actor with the most monthly users in this category
($0.002 per profile plus a start fee). Some Actors here ask less per row — this table compares against the one buyers actually use most.

### How to use it in three steps

1. Paste Snapchat usernames or links — one per line.
2. Set **Minimum subscribers** and switch on **Add Spotlight videos** if you need them.
3. Press **Start**, then download JSON, CSV or Excel — or call the run from the API, n8n, Make, Zapier or an AI agent.

### Use cases

#### Influencer vetting

Subscribers, Spotlight views and last activity before you pay for a campaign.

#### Creator discovery

Start from a few creators and follow `relatedAccounts` to find more.

#### Creator databases

Keep a list of Snapchat creators fresh with a weekly run.

#### Brand research

Official brand profiles, their websites and how their Spotlights perform.

### Integrations

Every run is available through the Apify API, and the Actor works out of the box with n8n, Make, Zapier, Google Sheets, LangChain and the Apify MCP server.

### FAQ

**Do I need a Snapchat account?** No.

**Why is `subscribers` empty for some creators?** Creators can hide their subscriber count; Snapchat then shows none to visitors.

**Private accounts?** Only public profiles (creators, brands, public figures) have a web page.

**How many Spotlight videos?** The ones Snapchat shows on the profile page — usually the latest 10–25.

**Is this legal?** The Actor reads public profile pages. Use the data in line with Snapchat's terms and data protection law.

## `minSubscribers` (type: `integer`):

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,lergassy/snapchat-profile-scraper"

    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
